Item Specifics

The BARACUDA G3 Advanced Suction Side Automatic Pool Cleaner is a quiet, powerful suction vacuum.  It works well with low-speed pumps.  This pool vacuum will collect both small and medium-sized debris.  It will clean the floor, walls, and steps of your pool.  This product can clean concrete, tile and vinyl pools.  It will automatically regulate the water flow, so that it still has great cleaning performance even with lower horsepower pumps.  This suction vacuum has a Wheel Deflector, which prevents it from getting stuck in corners.

The 36-Fin Disc increases adhesion to the pool surface, and it won't get hung-up on lights, fittings, drain covers, or other uneven surfaces.  It is very easy to install.  The diaphragm lasts a long time, and the Quick-Release Cassette allows you to easily reach the diaphragm when needed.  This is made for in-ground pools.  It comes with hoses.  This product is very durable, and will last a long time.

Climbs Well

This pool vacuum does a good job of climbing sides and not stopping at obstacles.  Here is a customer comment about this issue, "I am amazed how well this thing works. Climbs walls straight up and the bottom of our in ground vinyl liner pool that is 9 feet deep. Had a Hayward that was worthless and needed replacement parts all the time and it never cleaned the walls."

Ease of Assembly

There were mixed results on ease of assembly.  Here is one of the comments,  "A little more difficult than I thought to assemble - but with a friend's help my mistake was corrected and I am very happy with the results."

The BARACUDA G3 Advanced Suction Side Automatic Pool Cleaner is a middle of the road priced pool vacuum that has some advantages and disadvantages.  It does well with climbing walls and going around obstacles, but it may be hard to assemble.  Other than that, nothing stood out too negative nor positive for this pool vacuum.
